I’ve got an NX8 1-8 with a battery issue, the issue being that the battery is always dead. I can understand that using the Illumination will only give 40 hours or so, but when I store the scope I turn it to the off positions, between illum settings or at zero, and it’s dead when I come back to it. Anyone have similar issues?
Rifle Scopes NX8 1-8 battery life

I have had my NX8 on the same battery now for almost exactly 1 year. Minimal illuminated use, so don't take this as a "the battery lasts this long..." post, but, the battery is just fine. I tend to nerd out over things, so I am replacing it (a thing I do yearly) with a Duracell Procell CR2032. It has 265 mah, which is notably more than others.
I have never had an issue with my NX-8 using Energizer batteries - I usually keep it OFF between 5 and 6 or 6 and 7.
It has never just been 'dead' - the current battery only has minimal 'On' time since I changed it after the New Year, but at 4+ months it's still fine.
Try some legit new batteries and if it still has parasitic drain like that, I'd call NF.

This.
I leave mine all sorts of places on the dial, regarding in-between numbers. Should NOT drain. Mine hasn't in 1 year.
